History

Once a boy named Theodore Bronev, Layton grew up with his parents and his brother Hershel Bronev(who would later on become Jean Descole) until his parents were kidnapped by an agency.This incident caused the two boys to search for parents who would adopt them.Eventually,they came across a young couple whose names were Lucille and Roland Layton but they agreed to adopt only one child with that child being Hershel(Descole).So to give him a happier childhood,Layton's brother gave him his name to confuse the couple into adopting him.

Layton grew up with his adoptive parents in Stansbury and studied at Kingsbrook Academy where he befriended Randall Ascot, who convinced him to join him on his journey into the Akbadain Ruins where loads of treasure are contained. However, during their expedition, Layton accidently activated one of the traps in the ruins that caused Randall to fall into a bottomless pit. With Randell seemingly dead (in reality, he was saved by a river),Layton left Stansbury and went to Gressenheller University to become a professor.

During his time at Gressenheller, Layton met a woman named Claire Foley whom he fell in love with. Once during his anniversary, Claire bought Layton a giant top hat that he would where ever since her death(she died in a explosion).On top of that, Layton would forever keep his word of being a gentleman.
